And can't be turned off?!? Hmmm, anyway, just attach them as text/plain.
I have no idea how or if it is possible to do either.
This is a part of my mail sent to Guy in order to help him to send patches using Outlook Express. I hope that it will be helpful for Outlook users too.

Since I was using OE to send patches, I have found a way to send diffs as attachments and without \n vs. \r\n problem.
You need following two things to make it work.
- Make sure that .diff files have \r\n line ends, because if OE detects
that there is no \r\n line endings it switches to quoted-printable format attachments.
- Using regedit add key "Content Type" with value "text/plain" to the
.diff extension under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (same as for .txt extension). This tells OE to use Content-Type: text/plain instead of application/octet-stream.
Ah the joys of forcing even utterly BROKEN programs like Outlock into half-compliance with today's reasonable standards that are being obeyed by everyone else but Microsoft ("EEBM")...
I guess we might want to put a linked page right next to the wine-patches mailing list stuff about certain helpful settings for some email programs (if they deserve to be called like that)...
